1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 BACKGROUND OF STUDY

At present the gravest problem that Pakistan is facing is terrorism. It has become a headache for

federation and a nightmare for public. Though, it is a global issue but Pakistan has to bear the brunt

of it. Pakistans involvement in the War on Terror has further fuelled the fire. We are facing war like

situation against the terrorists. This daunting situation is caused due to several factors. These factors

include social injustice, economic disparity, political instability, religious intolerance and also

external hands or international conspiracies. A handful of people who have their vicious interests to

fulfill have not only taken countless innocent lives but also distorted the real image of Islam before

the world through their heinous acts. Terrorist acts like suicide bombings have become a norm of the

day. On account of these attacks Pakistan is suffering from ineffaceable loss ranging from civilian to

economic. People have become numerical figures, blown up in numbers every now and then.

Terrorists have not spared any place. Bazars, mosques, educational institutes, offices, hotels, no

place is safe anymore.

Though terrorism has no accepted definition, yet it can be defined as the use of violence and

intimidation in the pursuit of political aim or the calculated use of violence or threat of violence

against civilians in order to attain goals that are political or religious or ideological in nature, this is

done through intimidation or coercion or inciting fear.

According to FBIs definition, Terrorism is the unlawful use of force or violence against persons or

property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in

furtherance of political or social objective.

In Islam, an amazingly powerful emphasis is laid on developing love for mankind and on the vital

importance of showing mercy and sympathy towards every creature of Allah Almighty, includinghuman beings and animals. For indeed, love and true sympathy is the very antidote of terrorism.

Illiteracy is the root causes of extremism and terrorism. More than one in five men aged 15 to 24

unable to read or write, and only one in 20 is in tertiary education. Such a high illiteracy rate has

made Pakistan vulnerable to terrorism. Furthermore, technical and vocational education, and adult

literacy, are especially important but unfortunately have been neglected the most in Baluchistan,

Khyber Pukhtunkhwa and the Tribal Areas. Illiteracy and lack of skills provide fertile ground for

1.2 RESEARCH OBJECTIVES

To Identify and record the causes of terrorism in educational institutes.

To investigate and analyze the hurdles fetched by terrorism in students education.

To study and find out psychological crises of terrorism/militancy in students.

1.3 RESEARCH QUESTIONS

What is the level of awareness on terrorism students posses?

What factor associated with increasing terrorism day by day?

Does terrorism impacts on students through different aspects?

1.4 LIMITATIONS

There is hardly any study found on terrorism in respective of Hyderabad city especially in

educational sector.

Lack of secondary information has become the main obstacle.

The major limitation has occurred that the respondents do not have adequate knowledge about

terrorism impacts.

2. REVIEW OF LITERATURE

Terrorism in Pakistan has inculcated adverse effects on the educational sector and the worth of education in

Pakistan which has dismantled the need of education in the country. In past if we go through we can see thereis very rare people have done research in impacts on education by terrorism but that research even not taken

out properly. When we go through some articles we found some factors and attempts of terrorists on

educational sector.

There are so many ways through which terrorism effects the education of the state. The level of education has

been destroyed in Pakistan due to continuous terrorist attacks on the educational institution and the students in

Pakistan and when we talk about the tribal areas of the country the condition is even worse where the students

are being brutally killed while they are on their way to school or even the schools are being targeted by

bombs. The major impact of this activity is that the parents have stopped their children to attend the schools

and kept them in their houses which have reduced the level of education and in the country where the literacy

rate is already very low is continuously being demoted.

Through terrorist activities the terrorist have destroyed the educational institutions in most of the tribal areas

and hence there are no places left where the students could be educated, this is one adverse impact of the

terrorism activities on education as the destruction of schools have reduced the opportunity of distribution and

inculcation of the education in the state, and so the literacy rate is continuously declining which is not

beneficial for the countrys progress and development.

Due to such frequent and excessive terrorist activities specifically on the educational institutions and on the

education of Pakistan has brought another very threatening and destructive outcome, the international schools

and the educational institutions which are being constructed and established in Pakistan where there were

international teachers and international educational system was being implemented has also stopped working

now. Due to the danger and threat of terrorist activities in the country there institutions are forced to be closed

down, hence one big loss is being witnessed where the opportunity of acquiring the educational of

international level has gone in vein.

During the year 2009, terrorism overshadowed all the sectors especially education which was the worst hit by

militancy.

Hundreds of schools were blown up in Fata and the NWFP regions while most horrible incident was twin

suicide attacks on the International Islamic University, Islamabad, which claimed lives of six innocent people,

including three female students, in October.

The tragic incident spread a wave of panic and subsequently educational institutions, including schools,

colleges and universities, had to face closure across the country for over one week. It also led to a massive

exercise regarding implementation of maximum security arrangements at educational institutions and a

controversy also surfaced when private schools demanded the government ensure security for institutions in

private sector.

The deteriorating law and order situation also caused cancellation of various education-related events which,

otherwise, were happening on a regular basis.

Nonetheless, the situation also gave birth to some innovative ideas of teaching and learning. A number of

private schools introduced e-learning software in a bid to cover the academic loss of students in case the

schools had to be closed down unexpectedly over security issues.

A number of incidents related to prank calls by students were also reported, highlighting the psychological

impact of the prevailing situation.

Like mainstream education, the reforms in Deeni Madaris (religious seminaries) remained a challenge for the

government as it did not make concrete efforts to bring religious schools at par with mainstream educational

institutions.

Several academicians and educationists have been killed in KPK and FATA for publically expressing their

views which are contrary to the ideology preached by the militant groups. For instance in October 2010 two

TTP militants shot dead the pro-Vice Chancellor (VC) and noted religious scholar DrFarooq Khan along with

his assistant outside his clinic in Mardan district. Abdullah Azam Brigade linked to TTP claimed

responsibility for the attack. The spokesperson for the brigade disclosed in a call that Dr.Farooq was killed for

speaking against the Taliban at every forum and for declaring suicide bombing as un-Islamic. Similarly, as

mentioned earlier, DrAjmal the pro-Vice Chancellor (VC) of Islamia College University (ICU) and the cousin

of ANP Chief AsfandayarWali Khan was kidnapped by militants from Peshawar when he was leaving his

residence at Professors Colony for his office.

In Balochistan, schools have received threats from Islamist militant groups as well. For example, in May

2010, the TTP threatened to attack all private schools in Mastung district if they did not replace the existing

Western style uniform with the local dress of ShalwarKameez(loose fitting pants combined with a long shirt).

Female students were instructed to observe full Islamic Hijab. Some of the letters threatened if veil was not

observed in schools then teachers and administrative heads will have to face the consequences.

Such threats and targeted killings of teachers have prompted a brain-drain in the educational institutions. A

good number of academicians have either resigned from their duties to take up news jobs in government orprivate universities in other parts of the country, opted for premature retirements or went on a long leave

3. DESCRIPTION OF TOPIC

The beginning of the 21st Century brought with itself new challenges in the form of terrorism and

militancy and the attack on World Trade Center opened a new chapter in the modern history. Thegloomy atmosphere of such havoc also brought various socio-cultural, economic, political and

religious impacts in Pakistan. Majority of the scholars consider the issue of 9/11 as an unconventional

and psychological warfare, however, it laid-down the foundation of defining and delimiting terrorism

linking it primarily to religious, political, personal and economic factors

A long-distance border of Pakistan with Afghanistan brings the overt and direct consequences of 9/11.

Besides, the attack of the USA accompanied by its allies against the terrorists (as they perceived) in

the form of Taliban; the insurgency entered into the bordering tribal belt in Pakistan and further

spread into the northern areas of the country with in no time. The agenda as propagated by these

insurgents was based on the so-called Islamization process as they had launched in Afghanistan

recently. Due to socio-cultural and religious similarities, the Movement was supported by a majority

of the common people in the form TNSM (Tehreek-e-Nifaz-e-Shariat-e- Mohammadi) and the

Islamization was put-forward by Maulana Fazal-ullah, the leader of Taliban in district Swat.

Consequently, such activities brought damage to schools, colleges, other educational institutes

hospitals, banks, NGOs (working in the area) and to some extent discouraged the government

employees to continue their duties and services. Further, many of the citizens lost their lives while the

lives of living people became miserable. In this regard, these insurgents have made their own social

network in order to achieve their own specific goals based upon the agenda of the so-calledJihad and

Islamization.

Realizing the various socio-political and economic impacts of movement; the contemporary

Government took various initiatives to curb the problem, however, the steps taken by such authorities

faded into failure. The considerable adverse impacts are observable upon the social, economic,

political, familial and infrastructural aspects of the area. Similarly, there were attacks on markets, CD

centers, girls schools and people affiliated with governmental institutions were discrepantly dealt,

treated in inhumane manner in the name of Sharia. Further, the military operation worsened the

condition in the form of huge mass-displacement and migration.

In the light of the mentioned facts; the situation in the area may drawn-out as a formidable scenario

for sustainability and survival. Majority of the masses faced the vulnerability in the context of their

displacement that ultimately affected their social identity, integrity, enthusiasm and made them

pessimistic about life and future.

This development made so far in area retreated somehow to the dark ages. In this regard, the current

research study focuses on the adverse effects on education by terrorism and militancy and how the

students facing the psychological problems regarding this issue.

4. RESEARCH METHODOLGY

Terrorism is the unlawful use of force or violence by a person or an organized group against people or

property with the intention of intimidation or coercion of societies or governments. Terrorism inPakistan has occupied the center stage in debates and has become a big concern for governments at

national and international levels.

Against this background, recognizing and estimating the cost of terrorism is an extremely difficult

exercise. Moreover, the absence of primary data makes the task even more challenging. The present

study should thus be treated as an attempt at filling the knowledge gap in this area, encouraging more

sophisticated analyses for better frameworks, and conflict cost estimates. In this connection, this

research study is an effort to explore the core impacts of terrorism on educational sector and their

consequences.

RECOMMENDATIONS

It is recommended that there is a need to make the University environment protected and safeand sound for every student no matter what they religion belong to.

The additional step must be taken by the Sindh University as to provide secure transportationfacility.

After that there is a need to fit hidden electronic cameras from streets not only at main gate orentrance but also inside the university.

The next one is to appoint private security guards who must have commando training.

Other one is to provide safety training to every Student where they can learn how to face

uncertain situation but also can hit the one who can be dangerous or can catch the person whois suspicious.

Table talk would-be fruitful to rectify grievances and negotiations must be fruitful. Effectivedialogue is a need of time with political/ religious parties and with superpowers.

7. FURTHER AREAS OF STUDY

The purpose of study to identify the problems faced by the students through the terrorism, how they live and

continue their study by facing fear and threats in todays insecure world. No matter where they study. Due toMuslim militancy terrorism, Muslim students are facing too many problems that live abroad. They are being

watched every time by their countries security agencies i.e. where they study? Where they work? What they

talk and feelings about country where they live? These problems are come into psychological effects as well

where students come in stress, fear, tension and depression, in this case student cannot even continue his/her

studies in these conditions.

However, this study has come to know what students feel about terrorism effecting the education how much

they are worried about their career. In past as we gone through literature review there was very rare research

been conducted on this issue, the government havent taken any keen interest on this issue seriously.

By this research we have got the different observations of students regarding terrorism impacts on education

in this way this study may be helpful to the government sectors as well non government sectors who work for

the education in Pakistan by this they can come to know the students concerns regarding terrorism in

educational sectors so they can create such policies so the students cannot be attempt by terrorists or such

policies to give them secure and safe passage in abroad countries where they can continue their studies

without being suspicious by countrys officials.
